The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) offers fellowships (up to $20,000) and grants (normally $4,000) to individuals to pursue research or study in one or more Scandinavian country for up to one year. Awards are made in all fields.
Applicants must have a well-defined research or study project that makes a stay in Scandinavia essential. Applicants must be United States citizens or permanent residents. Applicants must have completed their undergraduate education by the start of their project in Scandinavia. Team projects are eligible, but each member must apply as an individual, submitting a separate, fully-documented application. First priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received an ASF award. Only in exceptional cases will a third award be considered.
The ASF considers it desirable that all candidates have at least some ability in the language of the host country, even if it is not essential for the execution of the research plan.
Projects should be planned to fall within the summer 2008 - summer 2009 period. Grants are considered especially suitable for post-graduate scholars, professionals, and candidates in the arts to carry out research or study visits of one to three months duration. Fellowships are intended to support a year-long stay. Priority is given to candidates at the graduate level for dissertation-related study or research. The awards support project-related costs, including maintenance, trans-Atlantic round-trip travel, in-country travel, tuition and fees (where applicable) and materials expenditures (e.g., books, photocopying, art supplies).

The applicant must either have a bachelor's degree or be in her/his final year of undergraduate study. Those who have a bachelor's degree may already be pursuing graduate study and may receive Fellowship support to continue that study. Individuals who are in the third, or subsequent, year of study in the same graduate program are not, however, eligible for this competition. Students who have received a master's degree in a program and are continuing for a doctoral degree in the same program are considered to have been in the same program from the time they began their work on their master's degree.
To be eligible you must not be older than thirty years of age as of NOVEMBER 1, 2007
Award:
Each year the Fellow receives a maintenance grant of $20,000 (paid in two installments) and a tuition grant of one-half the tuition cost of the U.S. graduate program attended by the Fellow (up to a maximum of $16,000 per academic year). The Fellowship Program pays the tuition grant directly to the institution. The size of the tuition grant depends on the cost of tuition at the institution the Fellow attends. Fees are not included in calculating tuition. If the program pursued is less than two years or the remainder of the of the Fellows degree residence is less than two years, the Fellow receives the amount to cover the period required for the degree. Joint degree programs will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. It is expected that the Fellow will complete the cost of tuition from such other sources as summer employment, public and private grant and loan programs for advanced education, or matching funds from the graduate institution the Fellow attends. The Fellow will be asked to inform the Program of other awards that she/he has been offered and may be asked to accept a total combined award package that does not exceed full tuition and required fees, plus $30,000 for maintenance. A Fellow may not work during the period of the Fellowship without the permission of the Director.

Applicants: Graduate students wishing to acquire proficiency in a non-English language taught at Berkeley. Minority languages receive higher priority.
Note: A mathematics graduate student was the recipient of this fellowship in French language for the academic year 2007-2008. So even though many announcements say the fellowship is only/primarily for humanities students, mathematicians may apply and actually have a fair chance of getting it. Applicants should be able to make a fairly strong argument why the language would assist in their research and career.
Award: The Academic Year FLAS Fellowship covers registration fees and provides a stipend of $15,000.
FLAS recipients must be enrolled in a language course and an area/international studies course each semester during the 2007–2008 academic year. These courses must be taken for letter grades.
Eligibility: Eligible students must be graduate students and citizens, nationals, or permanent residents of the United States. Lowest consideration is given to: 1) students who already possess language fluency equivalent to educated native speakers in the language for which the award is sought, including dissertators; 2) students who are taking the first 12 semester hours or the equivalent in Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish; and 3) students applying for dissertation research or writing as opposed to students applying for language acquisition.
Deadline: 01.16.2007
Applicants: Students pursuing mathematics education accreditation.
KSTF Teaching Fellows are young men and women who have received a bachelor's or advanced degree in science, engineering or mathematics and are committed to teaching high school science and/or mathematics in U.S. schools. The fellowship supports them professionally and financially for up to five years through a teacher preparation program to eligibility for tenure.
During the initial academic year of the fellowship, fellows typically participate in a recognized teacher credentialing program. After receiving a teaching credential and beginning a career in teaching, fellows continue to receive training and support.
Deadline: 01.10.2007
Applicants: Women U.S. citizens or permanent residents pursuing an M.S. degree.
Selected Professions Fellowships are awarded to women who intend to pursue a full-time course of study at accredited institutions during the fellowship year in one of the designated degree programs where women's participation traditionally has been low (Mathematics/Statistics (M.S.) is eligible). Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Candidates are expected to receive their degrees at the end of the fellowship year. Special consideration is given to applicants who show professional promise in innovative or neglected areas of research or practice in areas of public interest.
Master's and First Professional Awards $5,000-$12,000
Deadline: 01.08.2007
Applicants: US citizens in early stage of graduate study
As a means of increasing the number of U.S. citizens and nationals trained in science and engineering disciplines of military importance, the Department of Defense (DoD) plans to award approximately 200 new three-year graduate fellowships in April 2007, subject to the availability of funds. The DoD will offer these fellowships to individuals who have demonstrated ability and special aptitude for advanced training in science and engineering.
The DoD will pay the fellow's full tuition and required fees (not to include room and board). In addition, fellows receive a stipend for 12-month tenures. The stipend levels for each of the 12-month tenures are as follows:Period First Year Second Year Third Year Amount $30,500 $ 31,000 $ 31,500
The above amounts are prorated monthly based on a 12-month academic year. If the fellow is not enrolled in an institutionally approved academic study and/or research activity during the summer months, financial support will not be provided. However, these months still count as months of the NDSEG Fellowship tenure and cannot be deferred. There are no dependency allowances. Persons with disabilities may be considered for additional allowances to offset special educational expenses.
Since most graduate institutions require their students to carry a health insurance policy, the NDSEG Fellowship Program will pay for the minimum health insurance coverage offered through the institution, up to a total value of $1,000 per year. Any excess insurance costs will be the responsibility of the fellow.
Deadline: 01.01.2007
Applicants: U.S. Citizens who do not support Communism.

Applicants: anyone.
Since mid-year 2000, a joint Icelandic-U.S. committee has worked with the U.S. Mint, the Central Bank of Iceland, and private and corporate donors to form the Leifur Eiriksson Foundation. Created at the time of the 1000th anniversary of the first Icelandic voyage to North America, this foundation exists to support international collaborations between Icelandic and U.S. universities. It provides essentially full fellowship support for up to one year of study for graduate research or study for an Icelandic student studying in a U.S. university or for a U.S. student studying in an Icelandic university. The foundation sets no limits as to the disciplines to be studied other than that it does not support elementary or introductory study of either Icelandic or English as a language.
There is an application available for 2007-2008, but other than the application the website has not been updated.
The first round of awards, to be made in winter and spring 2006, will carry stipends of ca. $25,000 for U.S. students going to Iceland. This sum is estimated to be sufficient to cover tuition and fees, living expenses, and support costs for a full academic year in Reykjavik. Opportunities exist in many fields that are common in the universities of both countries--oceanography, climate studies, energy conversion, geology, metallurgy, materials science, literature, linguistics, anthropology, history, law, pathology, and other disciplines.
Applicants must meet all of the following eligibility requirements.
